Girly things

I just love when she plays dress up in my shoes! precious baby toes!

She just has such an elegant way of walking...clomp, clomp!

I don't know what to do with my arm. Really. Anyways, an outfit post. I actually think about taking outfit pictures most days, but it just doesn't happen. Oh well. Scarf thrifted, top vintage, thrifted, skirt, vintage, Etsy, Shoes, Lucky Brand.

It has been insanely crazy weather. Very hot for a week then lovely and temperate. Thus, what is growing seems to be pretty hardy.  I love summertime.  "Consider the lillies..." So very true!

Our Summer Bliss

Who needs The Avengers? I have my own boy wonder in my back yard!

it may have been freezing, note Bea's expression, but, who can resist the pool? Or that tutu?

Seriously. Stinkin' cute!

On Monday Russ turns 33! However, he will be celebrating while flying across the country. We decided to shower him with love a few days early!!!

Bea's initiation into birthday candle licking.

He just keeps getting better!

For such an auspicious birthday, two cakes were in order. This is the one Russ picked for himself, speaking of the Avengers.

Sometimes, when I focus on the beauty, I can see art instead of clutter and mess.

A summer ensemble, not complete without sweaty baby girl.

And Happy Memorial Day Weekend! May it be filled with wonderful memories and new adventures!

Lettuce and Geraniums

Lettuce from our garden. New whiteware from the thrift.

My beautiful geranium! Grown from a single stem, this is the first time it has bloomed.
